Jak Jones vs Kyren Wilson LIVE: World Snooker Championship final score and updates

Man bites young boy’s ear live on air at World Snooker Championship

Qualifier Jak Jones faces former runner-up Kyren Wilson in something of a surprise World Snooker Championship final, in the start of the two-day best-of-35 frames Crucible Theatre showpiece.

Welshman Jones, who beat former world champion Stuart Bingham 17-12 in last night’s semi-final, will be the underdog in the final but has shown his talents in also beating Judd Trump in this tournament. The 30-year-old made his Crucible debut only last year and has shaken off doubts over his former on his storming run to the final, where he will look to join the illustrious board of former champions.

Wilson, meanwhile, has appeared in the World Snooker Championship final before but this will be a different experience to his heavy 2020 final defeat to Ronnie O’Sullivan, which was played in front of a one-third full arena due to Covid restrictions. Wilson defeat David Gilbert in the other semi-final and the 32-year-old Englishman is edging closer to ending his major title drought after showing plenty of potential earlier in his career.

Kyren Wilson 7-0 Jak Jones

Gasps of disbelief from the spectators as Kyren Wilson errs on his third red. An opportunity for Jak Jones to take something into tonight.

He splits the pack as soon as possible. A friendly enough spread of reds should intrigue him.

Kyren Wilson 7-0 Jak Jones

A Jak Jones miss, a Kyren Wilson double to get up and running again – it’s all grimly familiar.

Kyren Wilson 7-0 Jak Jones

This is supreme stuff. Kyren Wilson can’t get into the colours but a break of 90 secures a seventh straight frame to start.

Jak Jones looks shellshocked.

He’s in again, you know. Kyren Wilson breaks up the congregation having left himself a perfect angle on the black.

Kyren Wilson 6-0 Jak Jones

A Wilson miss allows Jones to swell his score with a red and a yellow, but he can’t find a diversion into the pack from the colour with no free reds available.

His next safety sends a ball to a cliff edge in the corner. Wilson, blocked by the pink, makes it tumble with a canny use of the side cushion to skirt around and access it.

Kyren Wilson 6-0 Jak Jones

A mighty roar from the Crucible crowd as Jak Jones flukes a red, in and out of the left corner but crawling along the cushion into the right. Could that be a moment to lift him? Not on that evidence – a misjudged cannon and break over having tallied just eight.

Kyren Wilson 5-0 Jak Jones

It’s ominous stuff from Kyren Wilson by contrast. He’s picked up the pace of the table and is exploring it with glee, judging almost every shot perfectly.

1714918385

Kyren Wilson 5-0 Jak Jones

Jak Jones looks into the lights, a bead of sweat running down his forehead as Kyren Wilson sets about building a break again having been let in by his opponent. Jones slumps into his seat like a teenager at a family gathering – it’s turning into a bit of a nightmare for the Welshman.
